Change SNMP community string

allanzhulin — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 00:51:48 GMT

Hi,

We have a WCS+WLC+AP wireless enviroment, and I'm trying to change that default "public" and "private" snmp community string value on these devices. I read Cisco Security Advisory saying that we can make that change through WCS but it doesn't tell how.

Anyone has that experience or know how?

Thanks in advance!

Allan

What WCS version are you running?

In WCS, go to :

Configure -> Controller Template

On the left handside, click on System then SNMP

Then create a template with the community string you desire and apply that to the controllers.

Un-apply the other templates or disable the community string on them to remove the previous one. Please do that after pushing the newer community string.
